Default tDCS

Someone on page one of this thread (sorry! I don't know the name of the person) said they had good results with tDCS. I didn't know what it was so had to run off to see.

NIH is currently doing a study on the effects of tCDS on CRPS patients...maybe we will learn some good news?

http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00815932

As for the person who posted on this - could you tell us a little more? Did your PM prescribe it ~ how did you come to use it? How long have you been using it? Any side effects? Just curious to learn more.

I take the Tinazidine (which is Xanax) but it doesn't really help me at all.

Thanks!
Jenny

Because my right shoulder to hand is affected, I have to sleep on my left side, with two pillows under my head (one is memory foam neck pillow), a pillow between my legs, and one that I hold between my arms. I can't sleep on my tummy or back anymore. It was HARD to get used to sleeping like this, but now I love it. I stay mostly pain free at night, but my night meds knock me out, so I don't feel anything anyway!

Jenny,
Do you mean Tizanidine is Xanax or Zanaflex? I take both and one is muscle relaxer the other is anti-anxiety! I just love Zanaflex (tizanidine)!!!!!
